This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
(I haven’t actually got a copy yet, but if I pretend I have my blog gives me a nice cover picture to sit alongside this, so shhh!)
After a delay of quite a few months this book is apparently just back from the printers. But on a production with this many contributors, the odd hiccup is to be expected.
As with the previous one, it’s a book of short essays on the favourite board, card & hobby games of a bevvy of games designers & games industry luminaries. This time the focus is on family games, as opposed to the RPG, wargame and CCG slant of the previous volume.
And as with Hobby Games: The 100 Best, once the list of essays was revealed I thought it would be interesting to be able to see the games being written about. So here’s my companion piece to the book.
